    Should DTG can make another MTA route in NYC? Commuter rail or subway (7, J or L)?

    The New Haven line would be the best imo as it as capacity for Amtrak services as well. Similarly I'd like to see NJ Transit.

    A bit too soon imo. I don't have much interest in American stuff, but I'd rather see a bit of NJT over another MTA route.

    If it were MTA, however, I'd probably be happy with New York - New Haven with the New Haven Line alongside - for a bit of Amtrak action as well.

    I would definitely like to see the Hudson line from grand central station to Poughkeepsie New York in a future Dlc for TSW 2.

    Have to go with the New Haven on this one. Would love to see the Hudson Line but would love to see the M8s and we already have the ACS-64 along with coaches

    I think we should have a passenger route in a different part of the country.

    7 train elevated and if you're not used to the Moving Block Seltrack LZB CBTC you will instantly fail due to stop signal overrun (United States national Transportation safety board term for a British rail accidents investigation SPAD).

    Maybe Philadelphia with a SEPTA route, the Silverliner IV and V have some CRAZY acceleration too them. If not, there is also Metra. Maybe even Tri-Rail in Miami, or SunRail in Orlando. Maybe even Brightline from Miami-West Palm Beach. That would be interesting.

    ACS-64 can join them this time in SEPTA Paint. To make them DTG just need to reskin 600-670 into 901-915 ACS-64 SEPTA

    I would be more inclined to buy a NYC subway route, maybe slightly retro with Redbird type cars than yet another 30 mile NE inter urban route.

    Even if DTG tries to get licensing from NYCT, MTA wont agree to a subway route with DTG. That's what an MTA associate told me.

    That should probably explain why MTA routes are Mainline ops not subway routes like the Queens Blvd I wonder if train simulator world gets underground rush hour bundle who would represent the United States then? Germany Frankfurt Am Main U-Bahn UK Metropolitan Line.

    Very interested if the route is made complete or sold in 2 - 3 parts as extensions. Even for 30 euros each. The quality of the harlem line is also really good overall.

    But For sure not interested in another 50% route choice to be left behind.
    I prefere an extension to southeast for the harlem line. Dtg should not stop producing content, but start to use the potential for there routes. So much effort to make those trains running there, research for safety systems, research timerables etc.
    Harlem to north white plains cant even sell a solid loco dlc, because the 25min its not worth with such a short mileage.

    USES R160A-2 R160B Alstom out of Jamaica Yard. Coney Island N Q W has the R160B Siemens 8843-9102. There is a reason to why Coney Island has R160s is that you avoid the issue of manually rotating the destination sign on R68A R68 when operating to or from Astoria Ditmars BLVD

    It's a safety risk since the knowledge on how to operate trains on NYCT is not meant for the general public since NYCT is a high-value target. And it definitely won't happen especially after the 36th Street Shooting.
